A city peace officer got suspended without pay for using handcuffs to wallop a homeless woman who had just bit her — and her union says the punishment is an overreaction to the recent viral video of a baby being ripped from his mom’s armsby cops in a Brooklyn welfare office.

Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Department of Homeless Services Officer Tiffany Randolph swinging the cuffs at Olivia Morphis after the out-of-control woman chomped down on her wrist during a Dec. 21 melee at the 30th Street Intake Center in Manhattan.   Continue reading “Officer bit by homeless woman, hits back with cuffs, gets suspended: union”

CHINCOTEAGUE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, Va. — In the cold months, this barrier island is a place of austere stillness, its famed wild ponies grazing along brown marshes, their long faces reflecting in waters often skimmed in ice, their seasonally shaggy coats flickering in the chill breeze.

But the offseason calm covers a foreboding anxiety. There is a danger lurking, literally, underfoot. In recent months, several of the horses have picked up a fungus-like infection in their hoofs and legs, probably by stepping in contaminated wetlands. Seven have died, including four that were euthanized Friday at a field hospital set up to treat them on the Chincoteague Fairgrounds.   Continue reading “On an island famous for wild ponies, a dangerous infection is killing horses”

SEATTLE (AP) — Washington on Tuesday joined a handful of other states that ban anyone under 21 from buying a semi-automatic assault rifle after voters passed a sweeping firearms measure in November that has drawn a court challenge from gun-rights advocates.

The ballot initiative seeks to curb gun violence by toughening background checks for people buying assault rifles, increasing the age limit to buy those firearms and requiring the safe storage of all guns. Only the age-limit portion of the measure goes into effect on Jan. 1; the rest becomes law on July 1.   Continue reading “Washington bans anyone under 21 from buying assault rifles”

New York City is pulling back the New York Police Department and allowing Muslims to drive around in “Muslim Community Patrol” (MCP) cars and to enforce shariah law in Muslim neighborhoods.

The new MCP cars have been seen in certain New York City neighborhoods in a frightening example of American laws being set aside for anti-American sharia rules to take over.   Continue reading “New York City Debuts Muslim Sharia Patrol Squad Cars in Muslim Neighborhoods”

While people across the world celebrated the dawning of the New Year overnight, the U.S. military thought it would be funny to celebrate and make light of one of the things they do best: dropping massive bombs on people and places.

In a since-deleted, U.S. Strategic Command (StratCom), which controls the nation’s strategic missile systems and coordinates offensive nuclear capabilities worldwide, joked that while people in New York City enjoyed the dropping of “the big ball” during the countdown to midnight, “we are ready to drop something much, much bigger.”   Continue reading “‘What Kind of Maniacs Are Running This Country?’: Pentagon Rings in New Year With Joke About Dropping Massive Bombs on People”

California’s largest public utility provider could face murder or manslaughter charges if it were found responsible for causing the state’s recent deadly wildfires, according to court documents filed by the state attorney general.

Pacific Gas & Electric Co., or PG&E, could potentially face a range of criminal offenses if any of the wildfires broke out as a result of the utility failing to properly operate and maintain power lines, per an amicus brief filed in US District Court Friday by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.   Continue reading “California’s largest utility provider could face murder charges for wildfires, AG says”

It seems uncanny that this young punk actually stood in front of the United States Congress, attacking America’s 2nd article rights, where hundreds of thousands of brave American soldiers died for the right to bear arms. Hogg earned this special occasion by supposedly pushing some overweight kid out of the way in the schools hallway, by supposed gunfire by a nutcase bent on killing as many students as possible. Because of this, Hogg was considered worthy enough to grant him this special session in front of Congress.   Continue reading “David Hogg A CNN Tool To Kill The Second Article – Now Embraced By Harvard”
